Backup statistics
The Backup statistics section summarizes your backups:
-
Number of Backup Policies: The backup policy count in the current region. View details in the Policy Center.
-
Storage Vaults: The total number of backup vaults and archive vaults in the current region.
-
Storage Vault Usage: Total data stored in backup vaults and archive vaults. This value determines storage capacity fees. For more information, see Vault types.
-
Standard tier: Data stored in the Standard tier of a backup vault.
-
Archive tier: Data moved from Standard tier to the Archive tier. This value determines Archive-tier storage fees.
Important-
Backup vault usage data is not real-time. Changes from new or deleted backups may take up to 24 hours to appear.
-
Bills are generated hourly based on actual vault usage. Due to this latency, console usage data may differ from billed amounts.
-
With a regular backup cycle, latency has negligible impact on bills. Avoid frequently modifying backup plans or manually deleting backups. Set a reasonable backup cycle and retention period instead.
-
-
-
File Clients: Activated clients that have completed backup jobs.
ImportantFile client count determines Cloud Backup client fees for file backup. A client is still counted after uninstallation if its backup data is retained.
